"
Every human being whose mind is not debauched, will be willing to give
all that he has to get knowledge.--DR. JOHNSON.
That learning which thou gettest by thy own observation and
experience, is far beyond that which thou gettest by precept; as the
knowledge of a traveler exceeds that which is got by reading.--THOMAS
A KEMPIS.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.--FULLER.
Knowledge will not be acquired without pains and application. It is
troublesome and deep, digging for pure waters; but when once you come
to the spring, they rise up and meet you.--FELTON.
Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that
he knows no more.--COWPER.
All wish to possess knowledge, but few, comparatively speaking, are
willing to pay the price.--JUVENAL.
Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart; the grace
of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.--BISHOP HALL.
There is no knowledge for which so great a price is paid as a
knowledge of the world; and no one ever became an adept in it except
at the expense of a hardened or a wounded heart.--LADY BLESSINGTON.
The sure foundations of the State are laid in knowledge, not in
ignorance; and every sneer at education, at culture, at book learning,
which is the recorded wisdom of the experience of mankind, is the
demagogue's sneer at intelligent liberty, inviting national degeneracy
and ruin.--G.W. CURTIS.
